Hi, I'm Ben Blume ️

I'm a Partner at VC fund Atomico, and a former strategy consultant, software engineer and computer scientist.

I'm spend my time thinking about how new technology innovations, particularly AI and machine learning, can be used by companies to solve hard business problems. I'm fortunate to work closely with the amazing teams at Katana, Onna, Automation Hero, Hinge Health and Bitmovin. I was also able to be a part of some other amazing journeys, including with Spacemaker.

I live in London with my wife. We like to cook.
